Where I live, there were mandates but no one enforced it and no one cared. During the worst of the pandemic it was odd to see someone with a mask. Some stores would have a sign saying you would not be allowed in unless you had a mask. Then you get in and no one had a mask on, not even employees.

If you're willing to do maintenance, get a resller hosting account and sign people up for hosting on it. Or just get cheap hosting somewhere. Something that would be maintained for you (e.g. shared hosting). Then it also becomes a source of [mostly] passive income.
Then you would be able to do whatever type of sites you want. Like others have said, static sites of some sort. Learn a common templating engine and javascript so you can work with a bundler like Webpack that will do some automation for you.
